Invasion of the martial arts world

Chapter 367 Huaxiong Challenge
"General, there is no need to worry. The number of soldiers and horses in Seventeen Towns such as ours is not superior. However, Dong Zhuo's army has a large number of cavalry. Their food and grass cannot sustain a long battle." Cao Cao shook the beard on his chin and smiled.

Chen Mo nodded and said:

"Since everyone is confident, please ask Mr. Yuan to arrange it. Chen Moding will obey the leader's command without any doubt."

What Yuan Shao was worried about was that Chen Mo would not listen to his orders, but what he was more worried about was that Chen Mo had never been defeated in battle. If he had made great contributions to him, it would be even more unbearable for Chen Mo to be judged by him from a high position in the future. He smiled and said :
"Master Chen is the mainstay of our army. The Qingzhou army is brave and unstoppable and needs to attack at the most critical moment. Now that our army is advancing layer by layer, we need a team to raid Sishui Pass. I don't know who can lead the army to go."

At least most of the people present understood Yuan Shao's intentions, but no one would say it out loud. Hearing his inquiry, Sun Jian, who was dedicated to serving the country, stood up with a huge ancient ingot knife and said:

"Sun Jian is willing to lead Jiang Dongerlang to kill the rebels."

Chen Mo held the Yitian sword with both hands and secretly laughed. As long as he doesn't interfere, nothing will change. This Sun Jian will be used as cannon fodder. Behind him, Xu Shu kept scanning all the people present. Suddenly, he saw Gongsun Zan's side There were three people standing with their hands down, his eyes fixed and he lowered his eyes to think.

"Okay, since Sun Wentai is willing to be the vanguard, I will order you to lead your men to attack Sishui Pass, and our army will follow." Yuan Shao said loudly with joy in his eyes.

Sun Jian retreated to set up troops, Chen Mo and the others all retreated back to the army and set up camp. Halfway through, Xu Shu said to Chen Mo:
"My lord asked me to observe a few people who were really interesting. Tao Qian was scheming, but he had no one under his command. Gongsun Zan's arrogant personality would sooner or later be a disadvantage. Behind Gongsun Zan, Liu Bei's expression was serious and his mind was heavy. Although Cao Cao laughed casually, his eyes were full of insight. , Yuan Shu beats the clown Liang, Yuan Shao will not be a great weapon after all, it would be fine if Sun Jian didn't take the lead, and now he is estimated to be tricked by many people.

Chen Mo, who was riding on a war horse, nodded and said:
"Yuan Zhi's analysis is good. When the world is in chaos, no one will really think about the royal Han family. Everyone has their own plans to come here;
The families of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu need them to make great contributions, and even replace the current Han Dynasty. Cao Cao is fine now, but once he has a huge power, he will not be lonely. Sun Wentai just wants to revive the reputation of his ancestors, and Tao Qian is already getting old , now to gain some fame is just to find a way out for the two sons;

Among the others, Gongsun Zan's army is strong, but the battle between the two armies does not depend on the strength of the army. If there is not enough strategy, it will fail sooner or later. Then Liu Bei is just Prime Minister Pingyuan. Do you think he really cares about the status of the Han royal family? what?Everything in the world comes and goes by profit, but this time I will make his calculations not so loud. "

Xu Shu smiled. After he arrived in Qingzhou, he went to Beihai Donglai to take a look. He already thought that Qingzhou, which was originally peaceful and stable, was very good. In Beihai, he saw countless people farming. When he asked, these lands were all allocated by the government. The seeds were planted for them, and the seeds were all arranged by the government. Apart from the high yield, the government only collected [-]% of the grain.

Looking along the way, there are canals and ponds built everywhere. These are government-built, but the care is managed by the people. The most important point is that because a large amount of land belongs to the government, even if someone wants to buy land, they can't do it.

Chen Mo collected countless lands and paid them all to the government, and he didn’t distribute the land to anyone. Farmers had to sign contracts with the government for how many years to plant. There was a lot of surplus, and then the government bought it again. In the end, the food produced by these two counties was enough to feed an army of 10,000+ for continuous operations.

Qingzhou now has less than [-] troops, and Chen Mo seldom expands his army. Over the years, some veterans have been retired to various farms, so the only one who can know how much grain is in Qingzhou is the person who has been in charge of the granaries for Chen Mo.

The land under Chen Mo's command is rich and prosperous, and the people of Qingzhou are brave, but he is not as aggressive as Dong Zhuo and others. Xu Shu can see that Chen Mo is recharging his energy and waiting for the opportunity.

The so-called good bird chooses a tree to live in. Xu Shu is not a son of the Han family. Seeing the decay of this big man, he has long since lost his so-called loyalty. Following Chen Mo, he saw the hope of stability for the people, so he has made up his mind to give advice to Chen Mo fulfill his ideal.

Chen Mo's Qingzhou army and other soldiers marched towards Sishui Pass in parallel. When other soldiers were stationed, Chen Mo let Huang Zhong dismount from the army and horses. After two days of marching, hundreds of thousands of troops still hadn't arrived outside Sishui Pass. However, Sun Jian stationed outside Sishui Pass with the remnants of his defeated generals.

When everyone rushed to the outside of the pass to set up troops, Yuan Shao summoned the princes, Chen Mo asked Xu Shu to lead the army temporarily, and he rushed to the central army's tent with Huang Zhong in red copper armor.

When Chen Mo arrived, Liu Bei had already announced that he was King Jing of Zhongshan again. Yuan Shao could only give him a seat as an imperial relative. When Chen Mo entered, he glanced at Guan Yu who was standing behind Liu Bei. He must not be allowed to play warm wine today Hua Xiong is gone.

Just as Chen Mo sat down and didn't speak, a sergeant entered the account and reported:

"My lords, General Hua Xiong of Sishui Pass is challenging General Sun's helmet and red scarf with a knife."

Chen Mo was once again amused by the fact that in this era of cold weapons, the generals of the army would come out to play heads-up, and the generals would have no morale if they killed the whole army. This kind of war would only benefit him and not harm him;
The Qingzhou Army built its army according to the rules of later generations. Although it is still based on Wu, Shi, Tun, School, Battalion, and Army as units, Chen Mo set the rule that once the superior officer is killed, the subordinate officer immediately takes over the command, even if When the general dies in battle, the deputy will immediately become a general to lead the army, and it will be called the end until there are no more left.

At this time, Chen Mo is the general of the army, Huang Zhong is his deputy general, even if they are not there, Xu Shu is the third commander, and then the school lieutenant of the first department is in charge. Of course, these settings are It can only be used as a last resort, but it can avoid chaos in the army due to problems with generals.

Hearing Hua Xiong came out to challenge each other, Yuan Shao shouted with anger on his face:
"Whoever goes out to battle destroys the opponent's prestige."

All the feudal lords in the camp brought their own generals, and when Yuan Shao got angry, one of his thirty-something generals came out and said:

"The young general is willing to cut off Hua Xiong's head."
